In the vast majority, over 90%, of the calls I make to people's houses to clean infected PCs the browser most often used is IE. I realize part of this is their larger market share but I also wonder if a higher percentage of regular IE users are more easily tricked into clicking on links they shouldn't.
Just wait until some of the machines fail and need to be replaced and the Air Force finds out they can't get what they bought anymore. Sony might want to preemptively work out an arrangement to keep from getting sued.
Continue supporting open source solutions. As long as Unix/Linux OSes remain the dominant systems and Apache the dominant server then proprietary solutions will never win. The attempt of proprietary vendors to win is exactly what drives the community to fork and maintain open source. In the same way that BSD gave birth to FreeBSD, Open Office gave birth to Libre Office. I suspect Oracle will eventually force MySQL to fork in order to remain open but it has the momentum now to remain the dominant web DB. Freedom will prevail and that is what will make sure no one entity controls the web.
The eee1005 isn't bad either. I run Xubuntu on mine. The XFCE desktop responds well. Of course if I just pop into a hotspot to check mail or something quick I just run Splashtop since it boots in about 10 seconds:)
it won't do them much good without my PGP key. Packet inspection will just trample the rights of those with nothing to hide in the first place. Those with something to hide will just use encryption and/or other concealment methods like steganography.
I would theorize that the higher a percentage of a society is that is exposed to higher maths the better off that society as a whole is in the long run.
I got the impression from the article that someone like a plumber really doesn't need higher maths for everyday life but in reality everyday life for him/her is plumbing. The better plumbers are going to be so because of their better understanding of plumbing because of the related math. Understanding angles, line sizes and flow capacity, system volume and pressure, etc. are a part of everyday life for them.
The same is true for mechanics, electricians, machinists, carpenters, etc., the many average people working blue collar careers. Their everyday life is what they do for a living and the better they are at the applicable maths they better they are at their trade. How many of them knew what their career path would turn out to be in their early years of school? How many could have followed their eventual career path as successfully without an early maths foundation to build on?
I can't really seem to think of many careers where an understanding of higher maths would not be a benefit. That said, it would seem the more mathematically educated our workforce is as a whole the better off our society is for all of us.
no Opera or any browsers besides IE6, 7 & 8 and FF3. If that's all their browser stats are based on then I'd say all of their reports stats are questionable.
That's really the only thing I can thing of other than 'so what'. This is a free country and businesses can do what they want. People are free to go elsewhere if they don't like Best Buy or Best Buy's prices. I really don't even understand how or why this even made it on/.
It's pretty easy to make secure, simple to remember passwords. Take some random sentence from your like like, "I grew up at 367 oak Street in Mytown when I was little." Grab the first letter and all the numbers, Igua367OiMwIwl and you've got a dictionary proof password that's secure and easy to remember.
Does that effectively mean you can't legally install GPL code on ROM since it couldn't be overwritten even if you did have the build environment and installation scripts?
Not only do they eat more? Do they produce more methane by eating more? Methane is a bigger greenhouse gas than CO2 is. His method may not be so "clean" after all.
It was a discount, off the regular retail price on a seat and it also didn't apply to any of the related fees, surcharges and taxes; only the seat price. The girl checked it after quoting me a price to compete with another airline and it ended up being higher than the price she had already quoted me. I argued that she should apply the discount to the already quoted price and she said they couldn't do that:(
When my wife's father died I got on the phone to try and get her a ticket from Atlanta to Baltimore. At the time I found tickets from $700 - $900 for a same day flight. When I mentioned to one of the airlines the reason for such a sudden need they told me they had a bereavement rate and quoted me $1100. I've not flown with that line since.
I totally understand that the airlines are starting to complain - even more when they have to _prove_ themselves that there is no problem with low concentrations.
I understand too and don't care. I don't care if they're losing $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... a day or more, it just doesn't matter. Volcanic ash is highly abrasive, has high concentrations of glass rich particles and will cause significant wear on machinery parts, like jet engines You cannot make one test flight through the stuff and safe all is safe for normal airline operations. Fly through it a hundred times and see what happens. Greed is never a reason to find a way around safety.
Keep in mind. Prosecutors want to incriminate you and prove you are guilty no matter if you are guilty or not and they will twist whatever you say to fit their needs. It is there job to prosecute you. There are times when even the innocent should invoke their 5th Amendment Rights, even if it makes others think they are guilty.
I'll add another that includes such physical property. I keep my email in the cloud as well but I GPG encrypt everything I don't want read and my key is on my physical flash drive which I keep physically in my pocket and my passphrase is physically stored in my head. Where is the line between what is protected here and what is not?
That's exactly why I started encrypting everything that goes through my GMail that I didn't want the court to see without my knowledge. I read a case where Google had restored from backup a users account on a court order. A prosecutor had sought to use his deleted mail against him and Google complied. GnuPG. The court might order me to turn over my key but they won't be reading my mail, deleted or otherwise, without me knowing about it.
More than a bummer. This option is what has made the PS3 a popular machine for clusters in the science community. This will be a big set back until a work around turns up.

I'll second Emacs. Emacs was mature web site development software before there were websites. How much more 'long haul' are you looking for?

...this game should only be played on public terminals in internet cafes without security cameras.
BTW, is spoofing your identity fair game play at the feminists house?

Just wondering. Maybe all OSes are at the end of their life cycle...

The City of Largo, Fl has had good success with thin clients on their Linux system...

Sorry you've reached the End Of The Internet. Please turn around and come back later.

Maybe it was simply for the sake of practice and some other site with a similar setup is the real future target....just food for thought.
